Le réseau hydraulique à Pompéi (Italie) de l’époque des Samnites à Auguste (fin ive-fin ier s. av. J.-C.) by Federico Giletti

“…It can therefore be said that, just as the Archaic and Early and Middle Hellenistic city received and reworked in its architecture and urban planning knowledge, practice and models taken from both Etruscan-Italic and Greek sources, Pompeii also implemented techniques and devices for water collection and conservation that were clearly derived from the mix of knowledge and engineering practices in use in the most important civilisations evidenced between the Archaic and Early Hellenistic periods in the Tyrrhenian area.With regard to water catchment wells, which may have already been in use in the Archaic age, but were certainly widespread and used in the Samnite city at least until the advent of aqueduct dependent water supplies, it is also possible to trace their historical evolution, which follows the urban development of Pompeii over time.Contrary to the oldest forms of water storage, which seem to have a continuity of use and in some cases coexist with the later chambered cisterns, wells seem gradually to have lost their original function, especially those associated with production contexts or located along minor roads. …”
